INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.

INTERN ATIONAL ARBITRATION.
Though the war feeling pervades the
air throughout all Europe. the consent of
England to enter the conference upon the
Balkans difficulties will probably do much
to avert conflict, at least over that partic-
ular question. Every one seems to ex-
pect the outbreak of war on the CONT
nent in the near future, and there
seems to be good ground upon
which to base the expectation, but
there is really no reason why an outbreak
should not be aYerted. The questions at
issue are not i'll themselves of such difficult
solution as to render an appeal to arms
necessary. If there was really the desire
on the part of the rulers to settle the diff
culties on the basis of justice there ought to
be no greater obstacle in the way than
there is in coming to an equitable decision
in ordinary courts of law concerning the
disagreements of individuals. An interna-
tional tribunal so formed as to insure the
strctest impartiality is not incapable Of
being organized. Such court could pass
upon the points of difference with perfect
equity, and its award. if not satisfactory
to the country decided against, wonld
surely be as acceptable as though the
same result had been brought
about by the expenditure of
millions of money and the sacrifice
of thousands of lives. So long, however,
as the immense standing armies are main
tanned such a court as permanent instilu-
ton is only Utopian dream. But with
the disarming Of the troops which now
burden the taxpayers of every European
country and with the agreement of all
nations to uphold the decision of an interna-
tional tribunal of arbitration, it would be
both possible and practical. When the
machinery of war becomes so perfect as to
render the humiliation of armies mere
matter of mechanical and engineering skill.
then the organization of such a court Will
be forced upon the world. The march of
inventive genius in appliance of war leads
to the belief that such result will be
brought about in the near future.

TIE RAILWAY COMMISSION.

A Washington dispatch says that in max
ing the appointment of railway commits
soners under the recentlyp assed interstate
commerce bill the president will not ap-
point any one from the Southern states be-
cause the railroads in that section are prn-
cipally owned by Northern people. We
are inclined to think that the president is
miSrepresented in this matter It is posi-
BILE that he may not appoint Southern
man on The commission. but it will hardly
be for the reason stated in the dis
patch. The interstate commerce bill
was not passed especially for the benefit of
the railroad prOprietors. 1t was supposed
to have been passed in the interest of the
shippers and producers to protect them
against the extortions and determinations
of the railway managers. 1t would be
tough lines for us up here in this section if
the West was TO have no representation on
the commission because the capital invested
in Western railroads came from the East.
While the element of proprietorship may
properly enter into the matter of appoint
ments still it should not be the controlling
element People outside OF railway circles
have some interest in the proper enforce
ment of the interstate commerce law, and
the president Is hardly oblivious to that
fact

THE CA0LER
1t Has Spread From the Argentine
Republic into Chilli.

PANAMA, Jan. 25.-Great excitement pre-
walls throughout Chill at the appearance of
cholera on its boundaries. Strict quarantine
was enforced against vessels coming from
suspected ports. and the passes on the Ar
gentine frontier were closed, but the disease
it appears has SUI mounted all barriers and
reached the Pacific slope. A correspondent
in Chill says;
Time and space would fail me were to
attempt to discourse upon the clouds of de-
crees relating to the preservation of the pub
lie health which have lately been issued.
From the Argentine Republic the telegraphic
news for some days past has been of an eX-
ceedingly alarming nature and in Mendozea
at the foot of the Cordilleras and the other
side, and its neighborhood, no few than
forty deaths are reported in one day. The
Argentine government has all along en-
deavored to suppress knowledge of the true
state of affairs, and the official kilograms
hare differed widely from those sent TO the
CHILEAN press and TO private individuals.
The brief and unsatisfactory COM
ments also, which appear in the
Argentine press, bear abundant testimony
of official supervision. all of which things
have tendency to make US imagine here
that matters are worse than they usually are
The stoppage of trains to Rosario, in the Ar
gentine Republic, was caused by the adoption

be ashamed of. She was regarded as
brilliant equestfienne and as brilliant
woman mentally. She used toride through
the streets attended by ten or twelve
hounds.
Mrs. De Cormio was called. and denied
that she ever attempted to iniure Mrs. En-
mons. Mrs. Emmons was insane. and that
was the most charitable way to look at her
conduct. Miss Ellen Williams. of New
Jersey, testified to meeting Mrs. Emmons
in 1878 at boarding school in Bordentown,
NJ. She was in every respect lady,
mild, modest and kind, but little odd at
times. Witness last saw Mrs. En-
mons in February last when she
came here at Mrs. Emmons' request
There was great change in Mrs. Emmons'
mental condition. She was confused as to
dates and could not talk in connected way.
Her room and person were unIidy, in strik
ing contrast to her former neatness. In re-
ply to a juror Mr.. Emmons' counsel said his
clients annual income was 81, 00o from in
vestments and $4,000 from salary. The
case was then adjourned until Thursday
when argument will be made by counsel
prior to the case being given to the jury.

THE SEA COAST DEFENsEs.

The prophetic words of MI. TILDEN.
that the time would some day come when
the United States would realize the fallacy
OF not instituting proper system of sea
coast defenses. though little needed at the
time, stands some possibility of being real
lied. 1t was asserted that there could
hardly be any combination of circumstances
likely to involve this country in difficulty
with any other nation, and that therefore
the expenditure of millions in placing the
sea coast in defensive condition would
be useless extravaganza. But as it is the
unexpected that always happens the con-
tlngency so recently secuted bids fair to
arise i'll the immediate future unless the
United States moderate their demands,
which is not likely, or England assumes a
less arrogant attitude, which is more prob
able. As it is, in the event of war there is
hardly large city On either coast
which the navy of England could not bonn
bard and destroy with entire safety
to itself. The so-called American navy,
weak and inefficient, would be hardly a
stumbling block in its way. Of course,
patriotism, backed by experience, teaches
that an American navy could be built and
the coast put into condition of defense in
time, and the enemy would probably be
eventually driven off, but in the meanwhile
the destruction of much valuable property
would inevitably ensue. 1t would be much
better to heed the old maxim, In time of
peace prepare for war;" and with the coll
seriousness of thorough preparation we
could then make any just demands on Great
Britain or any other country with greater
confidence that they would be complied

BRACES FIG HT
For the Esiehvood Military FOst
Near Chicago.

Near Chicago.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-One of the
amusing fights which Gen. Bragg is en-
countering as chairman of the house mIitery
committee is over what is known as the
Highwood tract in Chicago. Up at High
wood, twenty-five miles north of the city of
Chicago, the Commercial club has fine
piece Of land, which it is willing TO
give to the United States for military DUR
poses. 1t is a beautiful piece of ground,
embracing 59S acres, lying right on the
lake front, and consists of rolling prairie
and hills covered with fine old oak trees.
There is mile and a half of the lake 'front.'
age where the bluffs loom up seventy feet
high, which is quite an elevation in that
part of the country. Transportation east
and west by the lake is perhaps as con-
venient as anywhere in the country and no
better place could be thought of for mill
tary post The tract is beautifully cut ND
with picturesque valleys. abounds in springs
of pure water. and has excellent level pla-
teauS suitable for parade grounds, and is in
every way adapted to the purpose for which
it is offered. There is an abundance of
gravel for fine roadWays. and clay good for
bricks can be found right OH the tract, and
excellent sand is convenient so that the
cost of building and improving the property
would be very materially reduced. Although
this land is offered to the United States
free of cost, and the givers are
willing to guarantee the title there
has been very decided opposition to
the acceptance of the gift for reasons
which seem to be decidedly frivolous. The
gentlemen who propose the gift are such
men as Senator Farwell, Gen. McClurg,
John A. Doane and other prominent bust
ness men in Chicago. Senator Beck objects
to accepting the gift because he thinks that
these men want to secure for the city an
exceptionally good police power by the
presence of large military garrison
which will overawe and keep under the
anarchists. The real reason. however. it
is said, is that he is afraid that if such
superior advantages are afforded for
a large military post at Chi
eago, Newport barracks, KY, will
be abandoned. Mr.. McMllin, of Ten
nessee. who is not so partial to Newport
barracks. objected to the resolution for the
acceptance of this property the other day,
simply because he says he wants to look
into the question of anarchism and have it
freely debated and see whether there is any
necessity for a first class military post at
Chicago. If he had not made the objection
it is understood that several other members
were ready to do so, in the hope of curry
ing favor with the labor and anarchist ele-
ment throughout the country. The affair
shows to what lengths the opposition of
demagogues will go when they get into
congress

1t twas dazzling sight at the White house

rival exhibitions. more Scintiliating rays than

to have been laden with great pebbles of
glowing light, Mrs. Stanford was harnessed
with ropes of brilliants. Mrs. Leslies Jewels
have probably been written up in lump sum
and in detail more than Mrs. Stanford's but
the exact jewelers. appraisal of the Califor-
mia collection of minerals is probably at least
S2OO00O more than it would of the New York
collection. 1t is true that Mrs. Stanford

pins there at once. But Mrs Leslie's cor
sage was fairly sparkling with stones in differ

lady whose diamonds. attracted attention.
The stones She wore in her ears were the
famous diamonds about which so much has
been written. They looked the size of birds

A wild SHOOTING Affair.
Special to the Globe.


WINoNA, Jan ga shooting affair which
terminated without any very serious re-
suits, occurred last evening at the house of
Tim Dustin, who resides on Olmsted street.
between Third and Fourth. Dustin in COM
pany with a man named Hub Walker. who
has been boarding with him, were down
towntuntil late hour drinkiug,,at theldifferent
saloons. and quarreled over some matter.
Dustin preceded Walker home, and told his
wife that Walker should not come into his
house again. Mrs. Dustin, who seems to
have entertained very friendly feeling
towards Walker, declared he should come
back. and went out to meet him. AS the
two approached the house Dustin appeared
at the door, and warned Walker not to come
in, and putting his revolver fired, the bullet
grazing Walkers breast, but not inficting
any serious injuries. Mrs. Dustin started
down the street with Walker at once to pro-
cure doctor, but they were met by officer
WEIGH, and taken to the lookup. Officer
Daniels arrested Dustin soon afterwards.
The case had partial hearing before Judge
Allen this afternoon, and the parties were
